Текст песни The Woman From Wexford (The Dubliners) с переводом

Well, there was an old woman from Wexford

And in Wexford she did dwell

She loved her old man dearly

But another one twice as well

When me tiggery, tiggery, toram

And me toram, toram, ta

Ah, one day she went to a doctor

Some medicine for to find

She said, will ye give me something

That’ll make me old man blind?

When me tiggery, tiggery, toram

And me toram, toram, ta

Says he, give him eggs and marrow bones

And make him sup them all

And it won’t be so very long after

That he won’t see you at all

When me tiggery, tiggery, toram

And me toram, toram, ta

Well, the doctor wrote a letter

And he signed it with his hand

He sent it to the old man

Just to let him understand

When me tiggery, tiggery, toram

And me toram, toram, ta

Well, she fed him the eggs and marrow bones

And she made him sup them all

And it wasn’t so very long after that

He couldn’t see the wall

When me tiggery, tiggery, toram

And me toram, toram, ta

Said the old man, I think I drown meself

But that might be a sin

Says she, I’ll come along with you

And I’ll help to shove you in

When me tiggery, tiggery, toram

And me toram, toram, ta

Well, the old woman she stood back a bit

For to rush an' push him in

But the old man gently stood aside

And she went tumblin' in

When me tiggery, tiggery, toram

And me toram, toram, ta

Oh, how loudly she did yell

And how loudly she did bawl

Arra, hold yer whist, old woman

he, I can’t see you at all

When me tiggery, tiggery, toram

And me toram, toram, ta

Ah, sure eggs and eggs and marrow bones

May make yer old man blind

But if you want to drown him

You must creep up close behind

When me tiggery, tiggery, toram

And me toram, toram, ta

Hey, tiggery, tiggery, toram

And the blind man he could see
